Oilers' Connor McDavid: Returning against Vegas
Rotowire
McDavid (ankle) will be in the lineup versus Vegas on Wednesday.
McDavid's return comes well ahead of schedule after he was originally given a 2-3 week recovery timeline last Wednesday. With the world-class center back in action, he will retake his spot on the top line with Jeff Skinner and Zach Hyman while also linking back up with the No. 1 power-play unit. Prior to getting hurt, McDavid had registered a point per game through the opening 10 contests of the year but managed just two power-play points over that stretch. If he can get going with the man advantage, McDavid should cruise to a fifth consecutive 100-plus point campaign.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Labels self day-to-day
Rotowire
McDavid (ankle) told reporters he was taking things day by day and didn't rule out playing against Vancouver on Saturday, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports.
Considering Saturday's game would come well ahead of McDavid's original 2-3 week timeline, it would seem the world-class center is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Still, until McDavid takes the ice in a full-contact practice, fantasy managers may want to take a cautious approach about inserting him into their lineups. Even if he does play Saturday, McDavid's timeline effectively rules him out for at least two more games versus New Jersey and Vegas on Monday and Wednesday, respectively.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Likely out at least two weeks
Rotowire
McDavid (lower body) isn't dealing with the worst-case scenario, but he's still expected to miss at least a couple of weeks, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet on Wednesday.
McDavid logged just 37 seconds of ice time before he exited Monday's game against Columbus due to the injury. He has three goals and 10 points across 10 appearances this season. Missing McDavid is a huge blow for Edmonton, especially when the Oilers are having a difficult time gelling -- they rank last offensively with just 2.20 goals per game in 2024-25. While McDavid is absent, Adam Henrique might move up to a top-six role, though an alternative solution for Edmonton would be to shift Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to center, which would create an opening for Jeff Skinner to play on the first or second unit after spending time on the third line.

McDavid went pointless in the first game of the season, a 6-0 defeat against the Jets, but he's cracked the scoresheet in his six appearances since then, racking up three goals, five assists, 21 shots and seven hits over that stretch.

The superstar center has added four assists, 13 shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating over five appearances. Just one of his five points has come on the power play -- once the Oilers get that part of their game going, McDavid should go back to being one of the most productive players in the league.
